Celebrity Solstice is a Solstice-class ship built in 2008 and tied for #9 in the Celebrity fleet by size, with 14 passenger decks and a 2021 refurbishment that refreshed its staterooms, lounges and restaurants. Deck 5 Aft gathers much of its specialty dining: Murano for modern French cooking with tableside touches, Fine Cut for steak and seafood, and Trattoria Rossa for fresh pasta and wood-fired pizza. On deck 4, the ice-topped Martini Bar and Crush sit near Cellar Masters and Fortunes Casino. Up top, the glass-enclosed Solarium, a tranquil retreat for grown-ups, shares deck 12 with the Pool and the Wet Zone fountains, while Sunset Park adds lush greenery beside the Sunset Bar and the outdoor Movie Screen. Younger travelers have supervised programs at Camp At Sea.
With five sea days on this sailing, there's time for Crush, Movie Screen and Murano.
